“Nobody’s being tortured, Arthur,” Norman interjects, a tinge of annoyance mixing with an overall uninterested drawl exuding nonchalance and exasperation. “For the hundredth time, you’re having an episode. Have you ever heard of false memories? It’s a kind of hallucination, and you’ve been having several. Anyone who gets punished here is just being punished in accordance with the good old American legal system.”
“And you should care about the Reds.” It’s Dick this time. “If you understood what they’re capable of, how hellbent they are on destroying our way of life, you’d be afraid. You don’t appreciate how good you have it. You have food here, plumbing, hot water, electricity, access to some of the best medical care in the country. People in Red China and the USSR don’t have any of that. You can’t let your guard down. Not even for a moment. That’s how they’ll win, Arthur—when Americans get complacent, too comfortable in their easy lives. You have to stay vigilant."
